ASTM A270 sanitary pipe is designed for the food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount.
ASME SA270 TP316L is a welded, low-carbon stainless steel pipe designed for sanitary applications.
GNEE's ASME SA270 TP316L stainless steel pipe features a smooth, polished surface to prevent bacterial growth. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and is polished to a specified finish to eliminate any surface flaws that could harbor bacteria or other contaminants. Before shipment, the pipe undergoes various tests, such as hydrostatic testing, eddy current testing, and pneumatic testing, to ensure it meets the required standards. It is an ideal choice for the food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, and can withstand corrosive media and high temperatures.

ASTM A270 Sanitary Stainless Steel Pipe Specification
ASTM A270 sanitary stainless pipe usually refers to the small pipe diameters, normally from 1/2" to 2 1/2", thickness from 0.049 in (1.24mm) to 0.15 in (3.81mm). Length can be fixed or random
The maximum outer diameter of ASTM A270 tubing is 12 inches (304.8 mm).
